I'm using two low voltage motors that come attached to a really cool gear
box. Or rather I want to use these motors.
Each seems to work best at about 2.0 V. When running they draw about
200 mA. I tried running them in series with a 40 Ohm resistor to drop the
voltage from the 20V range to the 2V range with no luck. Will a simple
voltage divider not work here?
What solutions are there for lowering the Motor voltage?
Many thanks.

| In your message you said: (...) What do you mean, "from the 20V range"? the HB supplies about 8 to 9v to its motor outs. a 30 ohm resistor would be about right for the 200mA current level. The resistor would drop 6v leaving about 2 for the motors. (...) (29 years ago, 23-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
